Goodreads asked Elinor Lipman:

Who is your favorite fictional couple, and why?

Elinor Lipman Oh, I love this question. What first popped into my head was both couples (Guido and Holly; Vincent and Misty) from Laurie Colwin's "Happy All The Time." It's the novel that inspired me to try writing fiction. Quirky, smart, off-beat; even a cranky heroine, but four extremely sympathetic characters and a happy ending. And who WOULDN'T name Elizabeth Bennett and Mr. Darcy? Not me! Theirs is the original will-they-or-won't-they story.
